Thanks to ROCK for identifying the preferred timer for <br>
DirectDraw ( use QueryPerformanceFrequency followed<br>
by QueryPerformanceCounter) - this will use your<br>
real time clock (if you have a pentium-class or above).<br>
The type of parameter is a 64-bit integer typedef'd as <br>
LARGE_INTEGER, which is based on a LONGLONG,<br>
which is typeded'f as " hyper ". I cannot find any reference<br>
to the type " hyper " in the entire win32api (please tell me<br>
where if you find it), and I can't seem to find any fundamental<br>
math functions for LARGE_INTEGER. Anyone know<br>
where to find a package that has the basic arithmetic<br>
worked out for these 64-bit integers? You can't even<br>
send these values to COUT<< because the overload<br>
<< is not defined for LARGE_INTEGER. If there is no<br>
such package, then I will have to struggle to code it <br>
up myself - help, help, help.<br>
